It is possible that the dimmer switch is bad.

I the switch is not on the floor as in older vehicles then it is part of the turnsignal assembly, just puul it towards you and this should toggle the switch. If it doesn't then it is defective.

the problem could still be either the high beam switch or the head light switch itself.
